Solve 126/50

$$\frac { 126 } { 50 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{63}{25}=2.52$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 1 from dividend 126

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{50)}\phantom{1}\\50\overline{)126}\\\end{array}$$

Since 1 is less than 50, use the next digit 2 from dividend 126 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{50)}0\phantom{2}\\50\overline{)126}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 2 from dividend 126

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{50)}0\phantom{3}\\50\overline{)126}\\\end{array}$$

Since 12 is less than 50, use the next digit 6 from dividend 126 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{50)}00\phantom{4}\\50\overline{)126}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 6 from dividend 126

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{50)}00\phantom{5}\\50\overline{)126}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 50 to 126. We see that 2 \times 50 = 100 is the nearest. Now subtract 100 from 126 to get reminder 26. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{50)}002\phantom{6}\\50\overline{)126}\\\phantom{50)}\underline{\phantom{}100\phantom{}}\\\phantom{50)9}26\\\end{array}$$

Since 26 is less than 50, stop the division. The reminder is 26. The topmost line 002 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 2.

$$\text{Quotient: }2 \text{Reminder: }26$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 ^ {2} \cdot 7}{5 ^ {2}} = 2\frac{13}{25} = 2.52$$
